"What a wonderful selection of stories, devotions, prayers, and poems Rev. Snipes has assembled from his own writings I was laughing one moment and crying the next. He has a powerful yet tender way of reaching your soul ""This book was exactly what I needed. The way the chapters are laid out, I found the words that supported and invigorated me in any particular situation. I even used Snipes' various topics as a daily devotional guide.""I found myself to be especially moved by the chapter entitled, Remembrances, which chronicles the days immediately following the 9/11 Muslim terror attacks on the United States. As Rev. Snipes has expressed earlier, I too think we should make September 11 an official Federal Holiday-giving those who lost their lives, the grieving families, as well as the survivors and heroes, the honor they deserve." "I thought all the laughter would be reserved for the Humor chapter. Actually, I found a funny story in almost every chapter ""Touching . . . thought provoking . . . eye-opening. I believe the variety of topics, stories, and poems make a perfect mix." National award-winning author R. Lance Snipes offers you the first of three volumes of short stories, devotions, poems, and illustrations-some quite hilarious, others completely serious. In his 18 chapters, he covers various topics ranging from choice to missions, sorrow to humor, persecution to hope, family to faith, and forgiveness to sacrifice.This motivating collection of Rev. Snipes' writings covers a three decade period, although he wrote many of the stories and poems within the last year. The book is an easy and rewarding read for young as well as older adults. You may want to use this book in your Sunday School Class, cell group, personal devotions, or even in your pulpit. Its applications are only limited by your imagination"
